Hi James,

good to hear from you. It would be great if the port substrate that  
Karsten wrote could be expanded
and improved.

We can give you subversion access, which means you need an account.
I'll contact JCMa.

At some point we should replace the current PPC Mac mini with a new  
Intel based Mac mini.
It hosts the subversion archive.

Regards,

Rainer
